Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Right, I almost royally messed up my server by trying to create a reiser filesystem.
I had to change the etc/fstab on reboot as it was failing.
This has removed the /home label on the /dev/sda2 partition.
fdisk -l gives:

df -h gives the following but it is missing sda2
Do I have to remount it or something?
I then want to install reiser on the /dev/sda2 and relabel /home. I intend to have my squid cache on this drive also.

I'm not sure if you'll actually have the reiserfs module.
Fine out with:

Quote:

# modinfo reiserfs

You don't appear to be running the patched kernel. Just having the reiserfs-utils is not gonna be much good if the kernel won't mount it.
The post says the patched kernel will be indicated as .el5.centos.plus

Besides, reiserfs is left out of Centos/RHEL for a good reason. It does not work with SELinux.

Supposedly it is a more efficient filesystem for squid than ext3.
Would you recommend I just use ext3 in the meantime?
I think the elrepo is here: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-reiserfs

A reboot after this should enable the resierfs partition shouldn't it?
